AS Economics Revision - Government Failure

Here is an updated revision presentation on the key topic of government failure. Many AS micro questions ask students to explore the reasons for and impact of different types of state intervention in markets. An awareness of when that intervention may create secondary problems and inefficiencies is useful in building evaluation marks. This presentation looks at some of the possible causes of government failure and offers a range of recent examples. A note of caution - normative economics cannot be avoided here. Some of the examples of what I regard as government failure may not tally with that of yourself or your teacher! There are some links to explore within the presentation.
